Ebbing tides
reveal what lies beneath
disguised, ignored
and helps it face the world
with its original force.
Withdrawal
does not shock anymore
as I come to terms
with the real face
life has to show.
I will tread with care
tomorrow
when the tides are high again
fully aware
of what lies beneath.

what lies beneath is always intriguing!
